Regal Movie Theaters Is Letting You See Harriet for Free During Black History Month

To celebrate Black History Month, Regal Movie Theaters are offering free movie screenings of Harriet in select theater locations. The 50 theaters throughout the country will be showing the screenings on Feb. 4 and Feb. 11.

Harriet tells the life story of Harriet Tubman, the woman called “Moses” by the slaves that she led through the Underground Railroad to freedom. Director Kasi Lemmons places the film’s emphasis on the woman and how she came to be, not on the horrors she faced, fought, and ultimately defeated.

“This is NOT a slave movie,” Harriet producer Debra Martin Chase declares. “This is a movie about freedom and empowerment. This is a movie that says we cannot control the circumstances into which we are born, but we can control what we do once we get here.”
